Banned Books

Browse our selection of books previously banned for political, legal, religious, moral, or (less often) commercial motives by authorities in Ireland and abroad in years gone by. It is hard to fathom why some were thought worthy of censorship - while others are enduring 'classics' of controversy.

We will continue to add titles to this list, so worth checking back periodically...
